Maria Perez, 32, was arrested on charges of child neglect after leaving three children home alone for weeks, deputies say.
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - A South Florida woman is facing child neglect charges after apparently leaving three children home alone for weeks, deputies said.
According to a probable cause affidavit, Perez's roommate called deputies to check on the children after he hadn't seen her in three weeks.
A social worker told deputies the children had been absent from school the previous three days and were late the three days before that.
Perez was arrested Nov. 8 on three counts of child neglect without causing great bodily harm.
